I truly believe that people ask these questions NOT because they mean to hurt, but that they are trying to make conversation. I believe that it is a lesson in patience and an extension of God's Grace. We need to be compassionate to the idiot questions and just understand that for the most part, they don't mean to be hurtful. At least, I don't think they are. Once again, you are the one that needs to be strong. Isn't that always the case?

New motto: "Extend Grace to the those that utter stupidity Lord, because they do not know what they are saying." But maybe, they ARE trying to understand..therefore the questions.

I know that I have been uncomfortable and inserted my own foot into my mouth and cringed afterwards. We all have been stupid at some point. Hang in there.
